Frequently Asked Questions

  • PID stands for Public Improvement District. A PID is a special districts created by the City of Fort Worth for improvements, projects and special supplemental services over and above those normally provided by the city. PID 7 overlays the Heritage Residential community between Riverside on the west and Ray White on the east.

  • The primary benefit is to provide the assurance of maintaining or increasing property values by continually maintaining and improving the public areas and their surroundings. When PID assessment dollars are collected by the City of Fort Worth, they are earmarked for the PID. All that money is guaranteed to be spent on improvements and/or maintenance within the PID district. Neighborhoods do not need to beg, fight and plead with the city every time they want money for an improvement for their neighborhood.

  • On PID 7 public property, services include turf maintenance, mowing, edging, fertilizing, horticultural maintenance, tree care, seasonal color, tree and plant replacement, irrigation, water, electricity, special fence maintenance, ground and holiday lighting, park improvements, trash pickup in parks, and off-duty police patrols.

  • PID 7 does NOT take care of the resident's property or services such as street repairs, street light maintenance and utility services/repair. This means that PID dollars do not help maintain the Heritage Clubhouse, swimming pools, basketball courts or tennis courts. Homeowner’s dues are collected to support the maintenance of those facilities.

    • All property owners pay an annual assessment which is billed and collected by the Tarrant County Tax Office. The current PID is $0.1 per $100 of assessed value. Commercial Entities pay an extra $0.11 per $100 assessed value.

    • The budget submitted by the PID Manager to the Fort Worth City Council is finalized annually based on the costs. Financial reports are published on this website.

  • The City of Fort Worth is ultimately responsible for the PID operations. However, the city contracts the management of the daily operations to a property management company. The PID Manager is responsible for supervising the contractors, preparing work summary reports, submitting annual budget and service plan, and addressing concerns raised by members of the district. The PID 7 District Association (Advisory Board) will work with the PID Manager to address concerns of district members.

  • The PID Manager will host an annual meeting in August of every year for all interested homeowner's who want a detailed account of how the yearly budget was prepared. This is the best opportunity for residents to voice their opinions. In September of every year the budget will be presented to city council for approval. Again, this is an opportunity for residents to voice their opinions. However, the goal is to satisfy everyone's questions or concerns at the annual meeting. Residents of the PID are always welcome to reach out to our team with any questions at any time.
